Update a roo
4 years ago
I am a forgetful person as of late, lots of stuff on the mind Lol.
I made a journal over on DA and forgot to post it here:
Canceling commissions for an indefinite amount of time. I would like to focus on my mental health more and I have found that I have been basically punishing myself with the thought that I can't enjoy things, go out and do stuff unless I work on art, but I have been feeling very stressed out and anxious and reluctant to do any art, even if it's for myself.
So I think I'll be taking time off from doing owed art with the exception of current pieces I am almost finished with. I apologize for making people wait but I feel like this is the best route for me to get back into doing art regularly, without feeling anxiety and like I need to punish myself for not doing art for people. I'll still be doing random adopts and hopefully more personal &, experimental art, though I might take some time off to focus on myself first. It's not enjoyable to draw anymore and I want it to go back to being fun with just a dash of stress lol.
The events that happened in March and April, the Pandemic shenanigans, financial, work and home stress has finally taken its toll on me lol. And still trying to save to move out of California, but that proving to be near impossible since everything has gotten more expensive...welp lol
I've also been in pain since I've gotten back to work, so I'm sure that's contributing lol
I hope you understand.
And I hope everyone has an awesome day <3
I'll still be lurking around like a creep lol xD

I do hope you can get away from CA soon. :o
Maybe if I'm lucky, within the next 5 years. Gotta save up 1/3 a house's price to be safe lol xD
Inferno's Flight (from CA) Plan.
Its a rather large, complicated and possibly impossible task. Everything is just getting more and more expensive out here, and i feel like I can't make enough no matter what I do, and I barely have enough energy to last where Im currently working lol xD
It really is impossible to live out there. I haven't heard any regular person say it's possible. I wish you luck in fleeing!
And yeah, it's just making me more and more miserable and I really would like to move out as soon as possible, but so far I'm just digging deeper into savings as everything gets more expensive. I hate it xD
There are stickers I see on gas pumps and store shelves of a certain political figure, pointing and saying "I did that!" The pain is everywhere, but especially where you are. Flee! Grab all the soup you can carry and run like the wind!
OH, yes I know exactly which one you're referring to LOL
My mom bought some of them for a uhm...similar purpose xD
I've been trying, but I've been tapping into savings. My current focus is paying off my car. Luckily I only owe $560 left, so I'm aiming to get that paid off soon so it's less money a month xD Insurance still kills though, lmao
Freedom of speech, though whoever owns what it's put on may disagree.
I'd buy some just to keep, if they weren't only online.
Insurance definitely is high. You almost have it paid off, great!
They can technically argue its "defacing property", cop out xD
Soon.....
yeah I almost had to pay $500 a month because I'm a """new driver""", because im under 10 years, so my agent recommended I go on my dad's plan, which is $250. Still a lot, but its still cheaper lol xD
If the adhesive is very difficult to remove or stains, it technically is...
That's...a lot. But I assume it's full coverage? Here that's like $350...for six months, with discounts for good driver, multicar, old policy, etc. Cripes, I've driven for over 30 years, now. XD Way back you could at age 14 here (learners permit).
Yeah full coverage, and I paid off my car~ now just waiting for my title to come xD
Ah I was a late peep, I didnt start driving til 24. My dumb anxiety was really bad years ago, now its replaced stress lmao
Congratulations! Well at least you're taking the leap. I know someone who's never driven, and they're in their 30s.
Me too, I've offered to help but....yeah, got nowhere xD
Help what? Teach someone how to aim the car and stay off the sidewalk? ;3
basically xD
Stay off the sidewalk...Inferno is DRIVING!!! 80
No warning, just collateral damage LOL
D8 *hangs onto something taller than your vehicle to stay off the ground*
xD
Now see, if his administration were smart, they'd make stickers of Putin saying "I did that!" Then have people distribute those, since their message is "Putin price hike." Even though inflation here started before their supreme leader invaded their neighbor and started wiping out their culture, infrastructure, and people.
Someone should get on that sticker idea while it's hot, they can make a lot of money right now if they did xD
I would but I prefer to stay neutral and out of politics, nothing but stress lol
I would invest in this idea, yes, yes. Fifty cookies, upfront!
The temptation...if only I wasn't lazy xD
xD
...
Okay, on this site, that sounds so wrong. XD
xD
But...Mr. Pokey could be a cousin of Plank (Ed Edd and Eddy.)
Target or Walmart's sites, or even Best Buy or Amazon might have them.
hmhm, Amazon, Walmart and Target are a hit or miss lately. I might try my luck with Ebay xD
Awww... Hope you find it!
Maybe I'll find the treasure trove at a yardsale xD
I hope so! Or Goodwill, Savers, etc.
Thats ridiculous, Ross is cheaper AND they're new. Outrageous xD
Never heard of Ross. Probably not around here.
Ah Marshalls? HomeGoods? Hard to explain what it is, get my clothes and random household stuff there for good prices xD
Heard of them. Never been to either. Pretty expensive from the ads I've seen for Marshall's when I used to get the Black Friday paper for the ads.
Depends on what you're looking at, some stuff is a steal, some stuff is a rip off xD
That sounds like Black Friday, yup. X3
exactly! xD
I could get away with being a E Girl if I didn't have trash internet and didn't share a room lmao xD
plus Im trying to limit my social media intake. It just makes me sad or angry, and I got enough going on at home. I dont want to add more to the fire lol xD
Eat taco is one gaining users. (Itaku.ee)
Furrynetwork seems to have been a flash in the pan. Nobody talks about it anymore. Weasyl is still plodding along, without much change, but is reliably "there."
You could do an art Discord, if you use it already. A phone number isn't required like Telegram.
Weasyl honestly had a lot of potential, but its so dead there aside from a few dedicated watchers.
I have Discord, and in a lot of servers but I get overwhelmed a lot and im always invisible xD You have a Discord?
It might get a boost from people abandoning FA again over the rule update, and TwittXer death spiral, but without some sort of updates, it isn't growing.
Not publicly.
I call it Twixter ;D
I doubt it, Weasyl gets the short end of the stick all the time xD
Your precious...Gollum. X3
Some Kingdom Hearts name. X3
True.
<3
Omg yes xD
Maybe weasyl will get a rehaul and get more love, its not a bad site lol
TwiXrett
It's not, no. But for gosh sakes, fix their note reply system! Dx
Xehanort would be proud xD
YES
I think thats our only issue, and its a biggie. They need to rehaul that reply system for sure xD
I was going to type that name awhile back, but didn't know how to spell it. XD
Maybe not only issue (Where the heck is the suggestion and feedback system, or trouble ticket system?), but definitely the top three.
It's a tricky name lmao
Yeah...it's "polished" but still needs some work to compete with FA & DA and other art sites, I really wish they would do more xD
https://synthspecies.com/wiki/Main_Page
:-3
It is!
Time and money, I imagine.
X'nort lmao s'nort....hmmmmm xD
Yeah...I can imagine that being the reason. Good timing to start a crowdfunding to improve the site xD
So...Musk is Xnort? 83
True...But it seems stagnant or adrift. (I really do feel you'd like Itaku, even for just lurking and watching the art scroll by, seeing if you dislike it or no. Definitely beats Xwitter! X3 )
hmm.....
muxsk, Mxusk Kusxm...sukxm xD
Tempting, tempting....we shall see xD
SukXm, yesss!
"Try it for free today! No obligation! Your satisfaction is guaranteed! Free Kobold with every signup*!"
*Not actually, lol!
Whats the newest chaos going on over on "X" now? lol xD
" I was promised a KOBOLD, sir" xD
Uh...shut down their election integrity team, running NFL ads on supremacists pages, Muskyboy saying everyone who uses TwiX will have to pay a fee, essentially paywalling it (hasn't happened yet).
I wanna kobold too... XD
Ah so speedrunning killing the site, got it xD
koBOLD of you to want one
...I'll see myself out xD
Yep...now with upcoming streaming ability, and Paris Hilton signed to do shopping promotion on it.
Nuuu, be you, be 'BOLD!
It is Halloween time after all.
(All the cgi bbw giantess artists are now bailing on DA and flooding Itaku, but at least there has a blacklist feature. Previously it was vore, bara, and inflation artists from TwiXtter.)
dis true...and I wanna doodle some skeledergs...maybe I will, or not, we shall see~ xD
Oh boi. I bet thats been fun xD
Dracolich skeer me... *hides*
It's been said in people's posts on Eet taco. XD
Nuu...so many blacklisted accounts of stuff I don't wanna see. D8
Good thing im immune to everything lmao xD
You'd be surprised what you get bombarded with not using tag filters...and people still moan "It's too haaard to tag my arrrt...I'm leaving this site. Find me on TeleTwitterCord." It's five descriptors...geez. FA should require at least three. Artists who don't tag can't be found.
God forbid they tag things to get new people + let people blacklist what they dont like.
I used to linger on 4chan & Liveleak eons ago, I have seen more than enough....stuff xD
I know, right? Such a bother to think of a handful of good descriptors and type them in! Whatever shall they do? "Blacklist MY ART?1?! I'll show them!! NO TAGS! Now I'm invincible and everyone will see my balloon fart inflation macro stomp crush vore gore tiddy cock goo snuff scat watersports sehx art like I by-gawd meant them to!!! Bwahahahaa!!!"
About like that, right? XD
10000% xD
I now see you doing cute art of a chibi them.
I still need to finish my chibi halloween pic from i think...2022. Urbolious in a banana costume xD
That's visually in my brainmeat, now, and funny! XD
one day.
lemme just not look at my forgotten stash of wips lol xD
Do you put them in scraps here? I should look...been lazy with notifications. X.x
I tend to just move old pieces and auctions into scraps, i don't really put my wips in there because who knows if I'll finish the piece and end up never finishing it lol xD
I'll send it on Discord :D
But it's good reminder of which ones need completion to live in your head canon!
Discord? The MLP chimera? Does he deliver now? X3
I dont check my scraps so I'd definitely forget LOL
Checks out. I send in a derg, get a chibi version in a banana costume xD
Forget what? I forgot. My brain is a sieve. XD
LOL! XD
I have one braincell left. They are doing overtime now
xD
It's shared with Inferno, so you alternate the "No thoughts, head empty" pose.
No thoughts, head empty. Brain so smooth. No wrinkles or folds to hold any thoughts at all... XD
Inferno owns that single braincell all the time, he would never let me borrow in unsupervised xD
my brain SO smooth, information just rolls off it xD
Unsupervised...but he does let you borrow it! Meaning sometimes he has no brain cell, meaning...art of Derpferno?
Like water. X3
Thats when he gets his head stuck in a soup can LOL
not even water sticks xD
Omgosh, lolol! X'D
Perfectly clean and smooth...like a new cue ball.
I believe I have already done a cheeb one of him lol xD
yiss xD
You did, it was adorable!
Ultimate zen...
Maybe one day I do another Inferno cheeb. Maybe xD
<3
*gibs "Wrinkle Away"*
I havent had much luck saving, in fact, I've been chipping into savings since things got more expensive out here. It's wild.
So far I'm looking at Florida because I can transfer from Disneyland to Disneyworld and still be employed xD
But dang. I hope you’ve been able to stash some away since? x.x
Oooohhh that makes sense. Yeah, that would be a good and definitely a relief to know there’s some money coming in after moving cross country.
Nope, its a slow bleed right now and I wish I had more energy and motivation to pump out adopts to make up for the lost funds asdfg
Things are a bit rocky at my work so we'll see if I'm still employed in the next few months, bunch of bologna goin on
Dude are you serious? I mean I know there’s a lot going on everywhere, but still. Is it that wonderful corporate bs or stupid coworker drama?
Confirmed might not have my job after April 11th. And it's a number of issues, honestly. The biggest is I don't agree with the new company policy and how things have been going and complete hypocrisy from the company's end and I refuse to agree. I can't say much on here :(
Dang. I’d knowb Disney was getting kinda…messed up to work for, but it sounds like they’re getting worse. Sorry to hear it’s getting garbage job wise. Any leads on a new job?
Yeah, ever since they started to got the new CEO and into politics, they've been doing nothing but dumb decisions.
I have a lead, but I'm not too sure atm yet. For now, it's spam adopts as much as possible xD I'm very slow with art nowadays too, so its not helping asdfgh
it's only been 1500 years since I last replied lol. catch any leads since? I briefly saw your most recent journal, so I hope you've got something going!
Man no worries, I'm always replying fashionably late lol xD
No, I havent sadly. My sister and my mom's health have been declining so I've been staying home helping. I've been relying on adopts and my savings, but I need to slap my brain and get more designs out lol xD
Since it's been awhile 😬 how're you're sister and mom doing? Hopefully they're doing better! And i hope the finances have leveled out since x x
oof...well...uh
Not good, but getting better, I just did a journal on it. I was hoping it would get better quicker but nope xD
